Public Sticky notes

Pidgin (earlier Gaim) is a multiple protocol Instant Messenger client which can be used to chat using MSN, Yahoo, AIM and many other protocols. But most people do not know that you can use Pidgin to chat with Google Talk users.

Pidgin supports a protocol called XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol). XMPP is the core protocol of the Jabber protocol and GTalk is also based on the Jabber protocol. So it is quite easy to make Pidgin to work with GTalk.

advanced tab, checking “allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams”, putting 5222 as your connect port, and talk.google.com as your connect server. for proxy type, i used “use environmental settings”.
